    It is FAR TOO EARLY to declare “The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson” as the worst film of 2020 but at this point, I’m betting all my marbles that this is as bad as we are gonna get here because if it isn’t, then we are in for some deep shit. Almost everything that was wrong with the Haunting Of Lizzie McGuire rears it’s ugly head here once again only this time, it varies. The acting is still mostly trash, the directing is still utterly incompetent and incomprehensible and it’s yet another film that cheapens a real life tragedy because the dumbass has nothing better to do. Everything else, Daniel somehow managed to make even worse: here, there are literally NO CHARACTERS at all and whatever character traits are present represent those of complete idiocy, cinematography is messy and wobbly with editing that’s haphazardly slapped together like a Lifetime hallmark flick, the writing is completely nonsensical, it fails to address the only elephant in the room regarding OJ’s involvement in the crime, there’s no subtlety, no careful planning, no respect, no understanding behind the impact these brutal crimes left behind, which by the way is depicted in gruesome, gory, horrendous fashion and with this dull, boring, monotonous, repetitive malodorous tripe of a film failing to follow its own rules to set up an ultimate murderer franchise that isn’t even narratively sound, it just—it’s horrible. Retched. Vile. Appalling. Useless. Atrocious. Insulting. Devoid of merit.

    Before, I thought he cared about the source material but just had a really shitty way of trying to display it. Now I’m just convinced he’s doing this shit on purpose.


    If I’m going to be 100% honest with y’all, in retrospect, something about me still finds The Haunting Of Sharon Tate to be more insufferable here. Just—don’t misunderstand me: I didn’t have a good time with any one of these films. Both of them are monotonous, tedious, repetitive and so incredibly tasteless and difficult to sit through at the same time that I had the urge to break my laptop but given how I already knew what I was gonna get and then some, The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson actively depressed me more than actively anger me with how little anybody seemed to care in making this thing even moreso I already knew what I was gonna get. The previous film however, given the subject matter they decided to exploit the tragedy on in the worst way imaginable, the fact that the film was getting harped on to the point where the studio had to censor negative backlash and still won three awards for its shit quality, the fact that Hilary Duff was in a position that could literally halt her revival before she could truly get back up to her feet again and the fact that a major motion picture studio signed onto to the project and it was even released in theaters in the first place, that film did a much better job at pissing me off and making me hate life than this one did. I’m not saying Murder Of Nicole Brown Simpson is a better movie; I’m saying Haunting of Sharon Tate with its dysfunctional, self-obsessed road map of marketing strategies is WORSE.


    Seriously, I feel like Beelzebub’s ballsack just for drawing even more attention to it than it deserves. You have potentially ruined careers because of this movie Daniel so trust me when I tell you, the 9K you hope to gross with this film is gonna burn into ashes because there is NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF here. You and everybody else should be damn well ashamed of yourself for putting this together after the monstrosity that was your last film and for even acknowledging that this damn thing even exists. I don’t think I’ve been subjected to such a cruel, mean-spirited, malodorous tripe of a clusterfuck like this since The Haunting Of Lizzie McGuire and that was only six months ago!

    My condolences to Nicole’s family and Ron Goldman’s family as well. You do not deserve this to be happening to you.
